Yoga • Reiki • Sound
My philosophy
Yoga is about cultivating curiosity, taking the time to be open and commit to our whole selves. When we courageously show up on the mat it is an act of self-love and a step towards self-acceptance. Join me on this journey to experience the depths of the inner world through movement & stillness; sound & silence.
